Not really, but you CAN get by without ISPF (even though it would be
difficult).
We tend to refer to the parts we deal intimately with by name,
e.g. TSO, ISPF, HLASM, VTAM, TCP/IP, JES2, SDSF, etc., etc.
Unless we are looking at some component in particular, we tend
to refer to everything else non-specifically as "the system".
Is it reasonable to say that "the system" is the OS? Maybe.
However, most wouldn't consider "the system" enough to work
with. We all expect everything that was delivered to be available.

>If a component is removed and renders it useless. it would seem to be,
IMHO, that it is germane to the OS.
That can be stretched quite a bit, even though I agree with the
statement.
Can you use z/OS without TSO?
When in doubt.
PANIC!!
